<p>CINCINNATI — First responders in U.S. communities reeling from waves of heroin overdoses say some people tell them they should just say no to using so many resources on drug abusers.</p>
<p>Authorities say people have expressed frustration about rescuing addicts who often immediately resume using the potentially deadly drug. There are also concerns voiced about the wide-ranging social and government budget costs involved, including for the overdose antidote naloxone.</p>

<p>NEWTOWN, Ohio — The veteran police chief in a bucolic Ohio village, where the last murder was two decades ago and he can just about count the number of drug cases on both hands, finds himself in the spotlight on the front lines against heroin overdoses in one of the nation’s hardest-hit states.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-09-19/village-police-chief-spotlight-heroin-battle" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-09-19/village-police-chief-spotlight-heroin-battle#commentsNational NewsDAN SEWELLMon, 19 Sep 2016 05:05:52 +0000DAN SEWELL263356 at http://lubbockonline.comOhio zoo reopening exhibit where boy fell, gorilla was shothttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2016-06-07/ohio-zoo-reopening-exhibit-where-boy-fell-gorilla-was-shot

<p>CINCINNATI — Police said Tuesday they are investigating the parents of the 3-year-old boy who fell into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo and had to be rescued by a team that shot the 400-pound animal to death.</p>
<p>Authorities said the investigation will look at the parents’ actions leading up to the incident — not the operation of the zoo, which is overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Police will then confer with prosecutors over whether charges should be filed, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-06-01/police-investigate-parents-boy-rescued-gorilla" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-06-01/police-investigate-parents-boy-rescued-gorilla#commentsNational NewsDAN SEWELLWed, 01 Jun 2016 05:05:41 +0000DAN SEWELL254650 at http://lubbockonline.comWatchdog group wants Cincinnati Zoo held responsiblehttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2016-05-31/watchdog-group-wants-cincinnati-zoo-held-responsible

<p>CINCINNATI — A coroner’s report released Tuesday showed new details of vicious violence in the shooting deaths of eight members of a rural southern Ohio family, finding most victims were shot three to nine times each and some of them were bruised. Meanwhile, the hunt for whoever is responsible continued to expand, with more than 200 law enforcement officials involved.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-04-27/coroner-says-most-ohio-victims-shot-many-times-some-bruised" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-04-27/coroner-says-most-ohio-victims-shot-many-times-some-bruised#commentsNational NewsDAN SEWELLWed, 27 Apr 2016 05:05:29 +0000DAN SEWELL251806 at http://lubbockonline.comHeroin scourge changes role of police in hardest-hit areashttp://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-02-08/heroin-scourge-changes-role-police-hardest-hit-areas

<p>Some flashes of images of being inside an ambulance. Waking up in a hospital bed. No recognition, though, of the solidly built, 6-foot-4 blue-uniformed police officer now leaning against a wall in her kitchen, having returned not to arrest her, but to help with her battle against heroin.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-02-08/heroin-scourge-changes-role-police-hardest-hit-areas" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2016-02-08/heroin-scourge-changes-role-police-hardest-hit-areas#commentsNational NewsDAN SEWELLMon, 08 Feb 2016 06:03:04 +0000DAN SEWELL244929 at http://lubbockonline.comU.S. student held in North Korea; little information releasedhttp://lubbockonline.com/world/2016-01-23/us-student-held-north-korea-little-information-released

<p>CINCINNATI — With a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage expected any day now, gay couples in states with bans are making wedding plans, courthouse officials are getting ready for different scenarios and steadfast foes are working on their strategies to keep up the opposition.</p>
<p>Marriage license bureaus are bracing for a rush of applicants if the court overturns bans. Meanwhile, there’s been a series of planning sessions by groups that intend to explore religious objection responses to protect “traditional marriage” limited to heterosexuals.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2015-06-22/couples-officials-foes-readying-us-marriage-ruling" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2015-06-22/couples-officials-foes-readying-us-marriage-ruling#commentsNational NewsDAN SEWELLadviserAndrew HickamBarb ByrumBusinessBusinessCincinnaticlerkClevelandCOLUMBUSengineerEthan FletcherGEHospitalityHospitalityJan Michael LongKentuckyLaborLaborLawLawLGBT rightsLGBT rights in CaliforniaMichiganOhioPerson AttributesPerson CareerPerson LocationPerson PartyPoliticsPoliticsQuotationSame-sex marriageSame-sex marriage in the United StatesTechnologyTechnologyTennesseeU.S.U.S. Supreme CourtUN CourtUnited StatesUniversity of CincinnatiMon, 22 Jun 2015 05:01:13 +0000DAN SEWELL223446 at http://lubbockonline.comLast 2 Raiders give congressional medal to Ohio museum http://lubbockonline.com/national-news/2015-04-19/last-2-raiders-give-congressional-medal-ohio-museum
